Researchers investigated the economic and health outcomes of a 6-week digital sleep-hygiene intervention, SomnoShift, designed for night-shift logistics operators experiencing chronic sleep disturbance, compared against standard in-person specialist sleep consultations. The study found that 65% of workers using SomnoShift achieved healthy sleep parameters, resulting in a 75% reduction in fatigue-related workplace absenteeism and an increase in overall productivity, compared to a 70% success rate for those receiving standard sleep consultations. However, the deployment cost of SomnoShift was 90% lower per employee than the specialist consultations.
